The Govee Wi-Fi LED strip light is a great way to light up a room and make things fun. This 24.6 ft. strip has an adhesive backing that makes installation a breeze, but it also includes additional clips and screws for more advanced installs. You can easily control the lights with the three-button control box that is attached to a short cable to the end of the strip. One button is the power button, the other can cycle thru solid colors and the third will make the lights dance. The Govee Home app has a ton of features and configurations that you can play with. You can customize you own way or play around in the Effects lab. You are sure to find something that you like. The light strip itself can be set to full brightness 100% or all the way down to 1%, which is still pretty bright in a dark room. Amazon Alexa or Google can be set up to control them with some basic functionality as well. There are simply way too many features in the app that a review like this can cover, and I enjoyed playing around with many different things in the app with my daughters. All in all, these are a fun way to spruce up a room and make things fun.

First, I want to say that I am heavily invested in my smart home. I have a multitude of devices that all sync with Google Home. When I look at any smart home devices I look for 1) ease of setup; 2) reliability; and 3) integration with Google Home. The last thing I want is 12 different apps controlling all of my devices. Google Home, if you didn’t know, supports a wide range of smart home devices (including Govee) but in my experience not all work reliably (not here to point blame, could be user error). This light strip hits the mark on all three of my prerequisites. It’s only real limitation, as what I wanted them to do, was to sync with my music. It does it, but it’s limited. Especially compared to the Phillips Hue Sync box. But all-in-all, if you’re looking to add to, or start with smart lighting in your home, this is a terrific option. IN THE BOX The box comes with the light strip (in a spool), a plug adapter that should have plenty of length for most situations, and some clips. I’m not 100% certain what the clips are for, I’m guessing they give you the option to install the strip on something other than a smooth surface (i.e. wall or ceiling). SETTING UP First, putting the strip where you want it: the entire back of the full length of the strip has an adhesive backing. Obviously just peel it off and attach it to the wall. In the box are a few alcohol pads to help clean the area where you’re installing the strip (I highly recommend NOT skipping this step). As I said, there are some clips that have screws you could install on more porous surfaces, like wood beams, and you can stick the adhesive to the clips once they’re in place. Obviously the first thing you’ll want to do is make sure you have a plug where you’re installing them, preferably something out of sight. Of course, there’s a hard switch that turns it on and cycles through the colors and patterns of blinking. It too, has an adhesive backing. Even if you connect your lights to Amazon or Google, you’ll want it in an accessible place for turning it off/on when and if you need to. Of course, you could hide the whole thing and rely on your smart device. THE APP EXPERIENCE The second part of the setup is downloading the Govee Home app. You’ll need to create an account if you don’t have one. I found the user interface to be a little antiquated, but with most things, if you spend a little time looking at it and navigating through it, you’ll figure it out. It prompts you if you don’t have a device registered and there’s a plus button to hit to connect it. From there, your phone will look for the device over Bluetooth. The app found mine in seconds. Then I added the Wi-Fi network and I was off and running. There are TONS of customization options. It was honestly overwhelming. But, it’s nice to know that if you care enough and want to, you can customize it to your heart’s content. Something that’s not available through the Google Home app (more on that below). For example, you can set schedules for the light strip to turn on at set times. There’s also preset lighting settings if you’re like me, and just want to pick something easily available. THE LIGHTS THEMSELVES They are super bright and have a terrific spectrum of light. This isn’t just red green blue, etc. The shades of color are remarkable. And like I said, it’s plenty bright. It lights up my room without the need for my actual lights. Of course, you can dim them, but I prefer having them super bright with the ability to dim. I was pleasantly impressed with the colors and light. And the controller itself was extremely impressive. Of course, I haven’t tested it for a long duration of time, but I don’t anticipate any issues or changes. It responds quickly, even from the app. Honestly, there isn’t much to say about them as full RGB lights. They work great as you would expect. FEATURES I mentioned earlier that you can sync these with music. When I’m hosting, I like having the lights sync to the music playing. These lights have the option to do that, but there’s a small amount of lag. It uses a microphone, presumably in the controller, that listens to the music and reacts accordingly. I played some music and it seemed to respond appropriately but it was just a tad off. Probably not a big deal for most, but something worth mentioning. It’s not distracting, but for someone used to the high synchronization of the Philips Hue Box, it’s not quite up to par (however, the difference is in ease of setup and of course price). SYNCING WITH GOOGLE HOME I mentioned that syncing with my smart home is important to me. I turn all my lights off at night via voice command or through the Google Home app. I don’t always have the light strip on, but I want the option to turn it off without having to walk over and push a button or switch apps. Luckily, it was as easy as adding any other smart home service to Google Home. Then I assigned to the correct room and when I first tested it (asking Google to turn it on and off) it worked flawlessly. I haven’t had any issues on that front. You can also ask Google to change the colors. There are dozens of preset colors that you can set it to through the Home app or via voice. BUT, you can’t ask Google to set it to blink or pulse, etc. this may not matter, but the controls of the lights in Google Home are not nearly as robust as the Govee app. Of course, you can always switch to the Govee app when you need it. (and there might be a way within Google Home to give it more commands, I just haven’t found it). CONCLUSION While I have lots of Philips Hue lights, they are extremely expensive, especially their light strips. While my preference would keep my smart lights in the same ecosystem, the combination of price and performance make the Govee an extremely attractive alternative. If it didn’t sync to Google Home I might sing a different tune, but being able to control all my lights through Google Home renders the need to have Philips Hue lights moot. For the price of these lights, I can add as many lights and strips as I’d like without breaking the bank. If you are in the market for light strips, this should be high on your list; even if you can afford to splurge on more expensive brands.

I recently purchased the Govee WiFi LED strip lights and I must say, they exceeded my expectations. The setup process was incredibly easy and straightforward, and I was up and running in no time. The lights themselves are bright, colorful, and can be customized to fit any mood or occasion. I love that I can control them with my smartphone or voice commands through Alexa or Google Assistant. The adhesive backing on the strip is strong and has kept the lights securely in place. Overall, I'm very satisfied with my purchase and would definitely recommend the Govee WiFi LED strip lights to anyone looking to add some fun and color to their home.

The Swann Pro Enforcer security system, the cameras with the police lights, but this time with a 12MP sensor. I owned the previous system which was also 4K, but the cameras were not 12MP. This is pretty much identical to its predecessor. The actual difference from what I noticed is the 12MP cameras. The NVR has 2TB of storage and you get an additional 2TB of cloud storage with dropbox for a total of 4TB. As always setting it up is very simple just like the rest. The instructions are easy to follow. The cameras connect very easily via the included RJ45 cables and they are long, 60ft. The cameras are equipped with night vision, siren, spotlight, 2 way speakers and their signature red and blue lights. The images captured by these 12MP cameras are very clear, just a slight image improvement over the older system. The night vision is pretty good too. The sirens are loud and annoying. As before the spotlights are bright but they could have been brighter. The NVR UI settings I am very familiar with, and they are easy to navigate. Swann Security app is easy to use as well. You can access your NVR remotely but you will be required to create an account unless you already have one. With the app you will add your device (NVR) by scanning the QR code that is on the device. Overall this is an excellent surveillance security system. It is easy to install and comes with all the necessary materials to do it yourself. It has plenty of features. The cameras are waterproof and the system can be used with voice assistants like Alexa or Google. It is a very reliable system and very well built.

I have a house of smart LEDs and strips, so when a 2nd Govee smart strip came up for review, I jumped because I was already using the app for other lights and hygrometers. ​​TL;DR for my frequent readers and details below. Pros: Brightness Color range Effects Firmware updates Wall hangers Con: Brightness App - functionality & accuracy Color consistency with other Govee strips Effect consistency with other Govee strips Meh: Some features of the App aren’t easily figured out (DIY) - Unrolling the lights, powering them up & adding them to the Govee App showed me it was “FIRMWARE UPDATE TIME!!!” That went off without a hitch and I hope they keep them coming. I didn’t attach them with the wall hangers, however the hooks seemed solid; I’d totally use them if I needed to wall mount the strip as I’ve seen some cheap hangers before - and these aren’t those. When using a large room-covering light strip (RGB Basic) and then adding in the RGBIC PRO, I see a drastic difference in the colors and common brightness (both at 100%, for example). As I mentioned, brightness differs from Govee light strips; a 65ft light strip is dimmer at 100% than this 25 ft strip is at 50% brightness. Also, scenes like “dance party” are different between those strips, making it seem more makeshift, than a same-company offering. Choosing red/yellow/orange on the different strips are not guaranteed to match, so it takes some tinkering to get it close. App color settings can be challenging. A 1% setting shows the brightness at greater than 65%, however when sliding the bar - at 10% it dropped lower, showing that the App has areas for improvement. When selecting colors to spread across all segments (select all), it will un-check all segments causing the need to tap a few more times just to cycle through colors. Gradient options help in color transitions. If gradients aren’t selected - red transitions to blue in 2 LEDs, however gradients will give a purple in the middle, making a smoother change to other colors. White colors (warm, cool, daylight) have minimal differences between them, so it’s tough to see a color change when using the slider. As for brightness, this strip can be “blinding” - not really, but it is super bright. Overall, for the 25ft that it covers, it’s plenty powerful and has a ton of features that make it a worthy smart LED investment. Thanks for asking! Yes, I do recommend this - however if you’re intermingling like I am, it does take some patience.

I’ve had my light strips up for about a year or so, and it has began developing dead LED’s. A couple will not turn the right color or randomly flash every so often. The adhesive is not good and the clips need to be nailed into the wall or they will 100% fall off within a day. Over all, they are very bright and have lots of functions. Other than the sticking, they’ve lasted a long time and are beautiful. I wouldn’t knock them for the stickiness.

I love how easy setup was for these light. They stuck easily and it was very quick. The app to control the lights is super simple to operate and i love how i can change how bright the lights are and what color they are by just using the app. Would definitely recommend this one!

Good quality, good colors, easy to setup and didn’t fall off of my wall like some cheaper options. The app experience was easy to setup and easy to control them with.

Excellent lights, add a lot to the room. Adhesive is OK, might need to reinforce with the braces that are supplied at points to keep them in place. These can't mix with other brands, since the hues will not match, so go all in on one manufacturer for your setup

App is easy to use and connected to Alexa right away. Lights look great and have lots of different options/themes on the app

Super easy to install and set up. The app let's you customize the lighting effects, adjust the brightness, and even let's you set lights on a timer.

This is an incredible product that adds so much to your TVs viewing experience. I simply cannot believe I never had one of these. Now I want one for every single one of my TVs in the house. Very easy to setup and use, the Goove app is amazing. Impressive stuff really.

Purchased lights for my teenagers. Lights are radiant with color. Only issue is if you have a textured wall .. lights may need another adhesive to make sure they don’t peel off. They did in one of rooms other than that they are dazzling.

Package has everything you need. Easy setup, within 30 minutes everything was done. App is great and has a lot of different programs for lighting depending on your mood, season, holidays, etc. Definitely would recommend!

Noticeable quality right off the bat. Installation and set up were easy. Only downside is that you can’t cut it to a smaller size or some lights near the cut will go out and some patterns will not work as intended.

AMAZING i got this for my room it filled the whole room with light the app is great would definitely recommend

Worth the money, color is very bright and accurate to image

This product is great. It’s perfect when I want to set the mood in my room or decompress with low lighting. I can control it right on the app and don’t have to worry about them. I’ve had them for over a year now and no problems.
